• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Edelweiss Patch Question......

Battalion Commander
Heeresbergführer or anyone else with an idea,
I want to make my Stiener figure into an Gebirgsjager.
My problem is with the 3 tank destoyer badges.
I was to keep all 3 of them on the sleeve but they are in the way of the Edelwiess patch.
Do I put the patch over the badges? On the shoulder? Or do I lower the badges further down the sleeve and put the patch where they are?
I have not seen a picture that would help so I really need help on this one.

Grüß Di' Bergkameraden,

The Tank Destruction badges go above the sleeve Edelweiss. I'm looking at my Steiner tunic...I think it would be best to remove the 3rd badge (the lowest one) and move it to the top of the other 2 badges, then put the sleeve Edelweiss where the 3rd badge was.

Here are a couple of photos of GJ with a single Tank Destruction badge...other TD badges would go up to the shoulder....up to 4...then they would be replaced with a gold TD badge on 5th victory.

Thank you very much Patrick, that answers a question I was wondering about too.
I guess ultimately the rule of thumb is: awards will take presedence over badges of appointment.
